E-ticketing
platform Shohoz.com on Tuesday filed a writ petition with the High Court (HC)
challenging the legality of the Tk 2 lakh fine by the Directorate of National
Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) after receiving a complaint from Dhaka
University student Mohiuddin Rony over irregularities in ticket sales.
Lawyer
Tanjib-ul Alam filed the writ petition on behalf of Shohoz.com.
In
the writ, Shohoz.com has appealed to the court to suspend the fine by the DNCRP
and issue a rule declaring the fine illegal.
Four
including the commerce secretary and DNCRP have been made respondents to the
rule.
On
July 20, DNCRP fined Shohoz.com, an online ticketing platform of the country,
Tk 2 lakh after finding evidence of its mismanagement in selling tickets for
Bangladesh Railways.
The
DNCRP organised a hearing after receiving a complaint from Mohiuddin Rony, a 4th-year student of Dhaka University's Theatre
and Performance Studies Department, over irregularities in ticket sales by
Shohoz.com.
On
Monday, Shohoz claimed there was no negligence while providing service.
In
a statement, the company said service was provided to Mohiuddin Roni following
the terms and conditions mentioned on the ticketing website of Bangladesh
Railway (www.eticket.railway.gov.bd).
Later
on Monday night, Mohiuddin Roni suspended his movement against various
irregularities of Bangladesh Railway and for meeting his six-point demand after
a meeting with the high officials of Bangladesh Railway including the Railways
secretary and Director General at Rail Bhaban.
